NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

Application led April 25, 1914.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, HENRY C. BRAM- KAMP, a citizen of the United States,residing at San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State ofCalifornia, have invented certain nenT and useful Improvements inNon-Reiillable Bottles, of which the follovving is a specification.

This invention relates to non-reiillable bottles and has for its objectto provide a bottle wherein any attempt to fraudulently refill the samewill be frustrated.

Another object of the invention is to provide a novel means for iillingthe bottle and sealing the same to prevent unauthorized persons fromrefilling the bottle.

N ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists of thenovel combination and arrangement of parts which Will be fully set forthin the following specification and accompanying drawings, in Which,

Figure l. is a longitudinal sectional view of a fragment of the bottleneck constructed in accordance with my invention, Fig. 2 is a transversesectional view taken on the line 2`2 of Fig. l, and, Fig. 3 is a vieiYin elevation of a fragment of the bottle neck showing the same as itwould appear in condition to be emptied.

Referring now to the drawings by characters of reference, the numeral 'ldesignates a bottle neck of the usual construction having formed at itsupper end the enlargement 2. A suitable cap 3 is formed at the freeterminal of the enlargement 2 and the point at which the cap 23 joinsthe enlargement is reduced as at -l to permit the cap to be easilybroken without injuring the remaining portion of the bottle. The usualstopper 5 is placed in the bottle neck. Y'Vhen the neck and cap arebeing formed said stopper is provided with the vertical aperture 6, theuse of Which Will appear as in vthe preceding description. A similaraperture 7 is formed in the cap 3 and registers With the aperture 6 toform a passage Specication of Letters Patent.

through which the filling stem or tube 8 extends.

The bottle is made so that the stopper 5 is placed in the neck when thesame is molded and the iilling tube 8 extended through the apertureshereinbefore described, so as to permit the bottle to be easily andquickly filled. After the iilling process has been completed the stem Sis Withdrawn and the aperture sealed by pouring molten Wax or anysuitable substance into the said aperture G, The aperture T in the glasscap is then sealed by heating and fusing the edges thereof together andthe bottle may then be shipped to its destination. When it is desired toopen the bottle the cap 3 is broken on the reduced portion thus exposingthe stopper 5 which may be Withdrawn from its position in the bottle inany suitable manner, thus permitting the contents of the bottle to beremoved. 1t Will be apparent that should the contents of the bottle betampered with in any Way that the fact will be known since it isimpossible to gain entrance to the interior of the bottle withoutbreaking the cap from its position and thus danger of substitution willbe eliminated.

Having thus described my invention I claim A non-refillable bottleincluding a neck, an enlargement formed at the free terminal of theneck, a cap formed at the free tcrminal of the enlargement and beingjoined thereto by a reduced portion, said cap being provided With afilling aperture and a stopper in the bottle neck and provided 'with anaperture adapted to register With the aperture with the cap to providefor the insertion of a iilling tube.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature in presence of tivo Witnesses.
